Answer: The value of i is 1.4 and 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.
Explanation:
The equation used to calculate the Vant' Hoff factor in dissociation follows:
[tex]\alpha =\frac{i-1}{n-1}[/tex]
where,
[tex]\alpha [/tex] = degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40
i = Vant' Hoff factor
n = number of ions dissociated = 2
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]0.40=\frac{i-1}{2-1}\\\\0.40=i-1\\\\i=1.4[/tex]
The equation used to calculate the degee of dissociation follows:
[tex]\alpha =\frac{\text{Number of particles dissociated}}{\text{Total number of particles taken}}[/tex]
Total number of particles taken = 100
Degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]0.40=\frac{\text{Number of particles dissociated}}{100}\\\\\text{Number of particles dissociated}=(0.40\times 100)=40[/tex]
This means that 40 particles are dissociated and 60 particles remain undissociated in the solution.
Hence, 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.
